Leslie, I am going to "detach" from your "pity party" and choose to focus on this good thing instead.
Quote: Interesting side note I forgot to mention during my pity party, last nite H offered to help me cook dinner (he has never done this, I've told him I would like it if we would cook together...although when he finally came in to help it was pretty much done) and he offered to help clean up, another first, and he actually did it! Guilt? Trying? Either way, it was a nice, honest effort.
Who freaking cares why he did it. Sure, it may have been guilt or "trying" but things he does for ANY reason, if reinforced by your appreciation can become things he does for the right reasons. So sit back while he cooks & cleans and just let him know you appreciate it. You just appreciate it and enjoy, no strings attached.
